So I have to complete the Archon Quest and the Nahida story quest in order to unlock the Boss for Nahida?

Just the Archon quest. Nahida's story quest doesn't unlock anything to my knowledge. You should still do it though, it's fun.

Just the Archon quest. Also the boss door appears in a slightly weird place that isn't that close to where it is in the plot, so check your book to find it if necessary.

Just the Archon Quest, Nahida's unlocks afterwards but you'll unlock the boss and it after you beat it.

You technically don't even have to fully complete the archon quest, just once you've fought the story boss the domain unlocks. You don't have to do the stuff after it to do the weekly.

Tighnari is legit good. He also pairs really well with Keqing. They both have 40 cost bursts, so they're always up in the overworld.

Rhinedottir/Gold made Albedo and he's held together pretty well so far. Everyone else really needs to get on her level.

Granted, Durin was not as good, but we're not getting playable dragons in this game like it's Skyrim with 48 different mods on it anyway.

I did the Ocean-Hued Clam domain with my overworld team tonight and almost wiped. I thought the Keqing-Nahida Aggravate combo would be enough to carry me, but apparently Sayu's healing isn't enough to cover the stupid rifthounds' stupid bleed.

I swear they can even apply it during the iframes from Keqing's burst, which is just silly.

Enemies keep moving during your wind ups and bursts. You're immune to damage during them, but yeah the rifthounds still apply their corruption debuff, it's really fun enemy design.

You really just have to dodge or apply really massive AoE damage.

Or have Kokomi on your team. It's the Kokomi domain for a reason

Yeah that domain can be annoying. Even if you burst them down quickly you'll still take a bunch of corrosiom damage during your i-frames. So you'll likely have to heal every couple of runs if you dont have a competent healer with you

You should just take barabara and qiqi to the barbara qiqi domain. Then you can sayu around to your heart's content, if you'd like.

Also like raiden or fischl, i'm pretty sure they're electrodogs.

Yes, the domain also has a bonus for electro reactions. The domain is meant to be done with healers abd electro damage.

Yeah, no. Don't bring any electro in there. Purple dogs are supposed to be weak to electro, and yellow dogs with geo. I think there's even a tutorial message about it. What actually happens is that the dogs get super aggressive and get new moves when you hit them with their weakness. They'll start teledashing across the room with more attacks than you can possibly dodge.

If you want to maximize your misery, try bringing a superconduct team and winning with physical damage.

It's not really that they're NORMALLY weak to those elements, their resistances are a flat 25% across the board, but when they enter that aggro state their resistance to Electro/Geo drops to -40%.

Otherwise though I agree, it's not worth it unless you've got some super broken team that can just instantly delete everything.

To fix the super annoying teledashing you just have to walk to the corner of a room and stand with your back to a wall so when they dash 'through' you they end up still in melee range.

:h::h::h:Alhamdulillah-chan:h::h::h:
They more or less helpfully group up around you, so the qiqi/barbara combo freezes them for a bit. Once that wears off you get to enjoy electrocharging them, and then you can go freeze stuff again when qiqi's skill's up, if you'd like. Works out just fine, until you're left with just the last guy. He's a pain to pin down with barbara, and you don't get the nice aoe benefits of electrocharge when there's just one guy.

But yeah, for that specific domain, where you get extra damage from doing electro, it is entirely worthwhile to frenzy the dogs. On the overworld there's not much point to going out of your way to swap your team unless you don't have a healer or something.

That domain, like most things, falls easily enough to Sucrose and Fischl to just bring whoever else you want with. Well except you need a healer for this one.

Sacrificial Fragments (4*) and Magic guide (3*) have EM substat. Magic Guide has bonus damage on units afflicted with electro and hydro although if you aren't using somnone like xingqiu she tends to just eat all of that immediately with her insanely strong dendro application. e: I say that but I realize i don't know the order of operations so it may be functioning just fine.

Prototype amber also works if you need some healing and don't need the EM.

I would be looking at maybe Widsith and Sacrificial Fragments if you can. Sacrificial Fragments has the EM substat while Widsith is just generally good for off field characters. Pure F2P wise I would consider maybe the Prototype Amber because her burst is up all the time and the healing is nice and maybe the Hakushin Ring if you're doing a lot of electro reactions. Maayybee the sumeru craftable weapon could work too, but it's got one of those weird passives so it seems really finnicky.

Edit: I never noticed that sacrificial fragments has an EM substat, fixing. Also I have no idea where you get the Mappa Mare recipe from but it's craftable and should be pretty decent for Nahida if you've got the recipe :psyduck:

The clam domain was easy with Ayato+Fischl because Ayato is very good at hitting floaty enemies that like to dash around.

I keep meaning to crown Xingqiu's burst but it's only a 6% dmg increase. :geno: But it is Xingqiu

Oh no!😱

I stuck a mappa mare on her because it had an EM substat and I had a bunch of catalyst billets just gathering dust. I think it was the Liyue craftable weapon because it uses liyue mats to upgrade. Took it to R2 or 3 because I had the billets, then stopped because although I'm not using them and never really have I still cant possibly use up all my billets.

Yeah I think Oz keeps zapping them during your animations for bursts too. I wouldn't be surprised if the proc on them taking reactions keep going off during burst iframes, since even just Qiqi+Fischl make that domain really easy and I'm doing it with both level 80 or lower (Fischl is 80/90 and mostly fully geared though)
